Rachel POV
Outside Camelot Records Auditorium
"Enough is right, Tyler! Stop!"
I tugged as hard as I could against his towing grasp. My heels nearly snapped from the effort to hold me still as he tried to pull me inexorably onward to who-knew-where. I was tired of letting this male drag me through life.
Tyler could say what he had to say and then let me go.
We both had separate lives to lead. Enough time had been lost by both of us on this misery of a mating.
"What do you want from me, Rachel?"
Tyler was nearly shouting in my face. I couldn't get over the level of fury in his voice. How had I angered him so much? Was it so terrible I'd gotten a job? Should I have talked to him before signing the contract with Camelot Records? I couldn't understand why he was acting furious all of a sudden.
"What do you want from me, Tyler?"
I clasped my hands in front of my body to keep them from shaking visibly. I wouldn't show any more weakness than I already had. Tyler was a powerful Alpha to my omega breeding and the differences between us had never been so obvious. He towered over me. Come to that, Tyler was even taller than Nathan who was an Alpha in his own right.
"Are you really this angry about the contract? I didn't use your name. I didn't mention you at all. There's no connection between us on paper or anywhere else I can think of so why?"
"I don't care about your recording contract."
"Then why are you here? Why are you shouting at me? Dragging me around? What do you want from me?"
Tyler grimaced at me, "You are infuriating. I've taken care of you, haven't I? You've had the best of everything. Clothes, shoes, bags. Jewelry! I made sure you had access to an account for the household expenses. Your schooling you wanted was arranged. What didn't I give you?"
"What didn't you---Tyler."
